Divine Court, the Emperor’s son’s study.
On the bright holographic screen, a middle-aged man in uniform was reporting his search results with great trepidation, his brows lowered.
The person shown on the holographic screen was none other than Officer Li who had failed in the arrest.
Commander Li knew that he was in the wrong. As time passed and his subordinates still hadn't found any news about Su Wan and Ming Ye, he felt very disappointed and didn't even dare to think about taking credit for it!
The most important thing now is to prevent the Emperor from directly taking away his official title!
Even if I am demoted, it is better than leaving the Divine Court, right
Commander Li has never had enough of the life of the privileged class!
When Chief Li thought of the possibility of being demoted from the Divine Court system, sweat broke out on his forehead and even his knuckles turned slightly white with fear.
"You mean, Su Wan escaped?"
Jiang Xuecheng sat in the main seat, legs crossed elegantly, face extremely calm.
—As if he had already expected this outcome.
It was hard to tell any joy or anger from these few words. It was just that Jiang Xuecheng naturally gave people a cold feeling, which made people feel inexplicably fearful.
What’s more, Commander Li himself feels guilty!
He stared at the tall and elegant man in front of him. Jiang Xuecheng was obviously sitting on a chair, and he was standing upright, but he had the illusion that he was being looked down upon!
"Yes... yes, Your Highness."
Commander Li silently clenched his fingers, trying to give himself a little strength, but facing the Emperor of Divine Court who was thousands of miles away on the holographic screen, he couldn't help but feel his hair stand on end.
I can't even speak clearly!
Where is the spirit of scolding subordinates before
When Jiang Xuecheng heard Commander Li's trembling words, he slowly stood up and looked straight at Commander Li with his cold phoenix eyes.
He pursed his lips slightly, his eyes sharp as a knife.
"What did you promise me in the first place? What's the result now? Go and accept the punishment yourself!"
As their eyes met, Commander Li shuddered involuntarily.
Go and receive the punishment yourself
What punishment?!
However, after hearing what Jiang Xuecheng said, Commander Li's knees went weak and he fell back half a step. After regaining consciousness, he instantly knelt on the ground.
I dare not even breathe!
Do we really want to remove him from his position and expel him from the Divine Court
Commander Li supported himself on the ground with his hands, trembling with fear. He raised his head slightly and looked at Jiang Xuecheng with wrinkled eyes, his posture was humble as hell.
"Your Highness, I admit that I was incompetent. If you give me a little more time, I will definitely find Miss Su back."
"I didn't expect Miss Su to jump into the river! And she was actually with the man the high priest found. We have been hunting that man for more than a month, and he has very sophisticated methods..."
Hearing about jumping into the river, Jiang Xuecheng's deep eyes narrowed instantly.
But when Jiang Xuecheng heard that Su Wan was going to jump into the river with a man, his expression suddenly changed!
Like a dangerous wild beast, it instantly exuded murderous aura.
He stared at Commander Li sternly, his dark phoenix eyes fixed on Commander Li's face tightly, as if he wanted to see through Commander Li's entire body!
"What did you say?! Su Wan and a man..."
And that man is related to the high priest...
Jiang Xuecheng suddenly fell silent. He clenched his hands tightly and dug his nails into his palms.
No matter how angry Su Wan was, he had to control his emotions.
As early as the moment they first met, Jiang Xuecheng felt that Su Wan seemed to know him, or rather, she didn't know him, but was looking at someone through him.
"Tell me what happened today in detail, and send me the information about that man!"
When Commander Li heard Jiang Xuecheng's request, his face turned pale.
Just now, in a hurry, he seemed to have suddenly said something he shouldn't have said.
Commander Li knelt deeply on the ground. He didn't even dare to look at Jiang Xuecheng. He just buried his head in the ground and prostrated himself on the ground.
"Your Highness... I just said the wrong thing. The High Priest has specifically warned us that the identity of that man is a secret and is not allowed to be disclosed."
Commander Li was deeply annoyed with himself for talking too much, but it was too late to regret it now.
Hearing that Commander Li wanted to remain silent, Jiang Xuecheng sneered, his sword-like brows becoming extremely cold.
"Is my position in the Divine Court lower than that of a high priest in name only? If you fail to report the truth, it will be more than just a punishment for your incompetence!"
"Li Wei, you have to think carefully!"
Jiang Xuecheng's voice was neither loud nor low, but every word was as sharp as a knife, killing people without leaving any blood.
When Commander Li heard these harsh words, his body shook violently!
He knelt on the spot trembling with fear, raised his head with a shiver, and saw the newly-appointed prince of the Divine Court staring at him without blinking.
The phoenix eyes were dark, and the pupils were the purest black, just like the seemingly calm but turbulent sea water in the middle of the night, making people feel as if they were about to be swallowed up.
Commander Li began to feel frightened.
He gritted his teeth and finally revealed Ming Ye's secrets.
It's not his fault in any way.
After all, Su Wan is with Ming Ye, and the Emperor's son is determined to find this woman, so sooner or later he will find Ming Ye.
In fact, Commander Li didn’t know much. He only knew that the high priest was hunting Ming Ye, and knew Ming Ye’s specific appearance features and his abilities.
But Mingye had no idea about his detailed life story.
When Jiang Xuecheng saw the man on the holographic screen, his face suddenly turned freezing cold!
Although he had never seen him before, the man in the picture looked familiar to him at first sight. When he thought about it carefully, he actually looked exactly like him!
It’s just that Mingye’s enchanting emerald eyes were so dazzling that they weakened his other facial features.
What followed was a photo of Su Wan and Ming Ye.
The second picture was captured by surveillance camera, in which Ming Ye dragged Su Wan's hand and ran towards the river.
Su Wan looked panic-stricken, her hair was messed up by the wind from the port, but her hands were tightly held by Ming Ye.
The man and woman, one in front and one behind, seemed to be dependent on each other for life and death.
Jiang Xuecheng looked at this scene, and his pupils suddenly shrank to the extreme.
This is the man, right?!
Because he looks similar to Ming Ye, Su Wan is missing this man through herself
And the child that Su Wan once carried was Ming Ye’s, right
Jiang Xuecheng pursed his lips, his heart ached suddenly, and he tightened his hands. Because he used too much force, a bluish-white color appeared on his knuckles.
Although the man and woman in the picture were running away, they looked surprisingly well-matched.
The pain started from the heart and spread to every part of the body.
—After Su Wan lost her child, he lowered his posture so low, believing that one day this woman would be moved by him, softened, and then they would reconcile.
He indulged her in everything, even if Su Wan ignored him.
Jiang Xuecheng has never had such a crazy urge to kill people like he does now!
